Free agency is one of the craziest times during the NBA calendar season and every single year, we are seeing big names on the move in pursuit of a championship. With the free agency market being weaker than usual this year, one of the bigger names available and potentially the greatest signing this offseason could revolve around Kyle Lowry. 

For the last nine seasons, Kyle Lowry has been the “heart and soul” of the Toronto Raptors and was a big part of them winning their first championship back in 2019.

At the NBA trade deadline this past year, the Raptors were engaged in trade talks with the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Lowry and almost had a deal done, but they decided to hold onto their veteran point guard. 

Lowry made roughly $30M this past season in the final year of his contract and he could be willing to come down on his price tag in free agency from his previous contract. Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported back in March that Lowry wants a minimum two-year, $25M contract.

The three teams that pursued him at the NBA trade deadline could once again look to go after Lowry in free agency, but so could the Dallas Mavericks, who have a bit of cap space and the need for an All-Star, difference-making player.

Luka Doncic is a superstar talent in this league and is going to continue to get better, but in order for the Mavs to potentially contend for a championship over the next few years, they will need another reliable contributor next to Doncic. 

With Tim Hardaway Jr. also being a free agent and Dallas wanting to bring him back, the Mavericks could realistically lok to pull off a sign-and-trade for Kyle Lowry this offseason. Let’s take a look at what this trade could wind up looking like.
